Overview
Main description
This best selling film-based introductory Spanish program seamlessly integrates the feature-length film, Sol y viento, into the instructional and learning experience. Created specifically for beginning language learners, Sol y viento was filmed on location in Chile, Mexico, and the United States. It tells the story of a Chilean family and their winery, and of a young U.S. Latino businessman who finds himself intricately involved with the family as his company tries to buy their land. Mystery, romance, and the unexplainable forces of nature all play a part of this spellbinding story as it unfolds.
For an additional charge you may purchase access to CENTRO, a portal learning management system, through which a variety of digital components are delivered, including Quia Workbooks and Laboratory Manuals and an interactive e-book.
